The following are photographs of McKim, Mead, and White buildings that were published in circa 1900 books.
Residence of Charles J. Osborn, Mamaroneck, New York.
Residence of Clarence Mackay, Roslyn, Long Island, New York.
Residence of E. D. Morgan, Newport, Rhode Island. Note the road on the right leading to the house!
Residence of Henry Villard, New York City, New York. Now the The Palace Hotel & Towers in New York City.
Residence of R. J. Patterson, Washington, D. C.
Residence of Robert Goelet, Newport, Rhode Island.
Residence of William Edgar, Newport, Rhode Island.
The Orchard, the House of James Lawrence Breese, Esq., Southampton, New York.
Rosecliff, the house of Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs, Newport, Rhode Island.
According to Barr Ferree, the design of Rosecliff was based on the Grand Trianon at Versailles, in France. (Barr Ferree, American Estates and Gardens, Munn and Company, New York, 1904, p. 103.)
Residence of Ogden Mills, Staatsburg, New York.
The exterior of Ogden Mills' house bears quite a bit of similarity to the White House, Washington, D. C.
Stanford White's Home, St. James, New York.
Stanford White's house was credited as being designed solely by him, rather than by the entire architectural firm. The house was built around a portion of an older home, not designed by Stanford White. (Barr Ferree, American Estates and Gardens, Munn and Company, New York, 1904, p. 139.)
